Seattle, Washington - The Seattle FBI has published a photo of two men who "exhibited unusual behavior" on Washington state ferries in an attempt to identify the pair.

The Seattle FBI has published a photo of two men who exhibited unusual behavior on Washington state ferries in an attempt to identify the pair.

"They seemed to have undue interest in the layout and the workings of the ferry and the ferry terminal," said Seattle FBI Special Agent Robbie Burroughs.

FBI spokeswoman Robbie Burroughs said the men have been reported by passengers and, while their behavior may have been innocuous, investigators would like to talk to the men.

Burroughs said the men were observed on multiple ferries and ferry routes and reports were made to law enforcement officials.

Passengers and crew members on different runs on separate dates reported the men to authorities.

Burroughs said the FBI is acting "out of an abundance of caution. Here the ferries are the equivalent of subways, so we are cautious."

Anyone with information about the men is asked to call the FBI's Seattle office at 206-622-0460.
